We try to ease the transition to Reception Class and 'Big School' as much as possible through contact with local Playgroups and Nursery Schools, and by giving new children several sessions in the reception class in the term before they are due to start. This gives the children the opportunity to get to know the class teacher, their new environment and some of the children who will be their classmates. Home visits are also arranged before your child starts school. Starting school for the first time brings with it new routines, social situations and experiences. 

In Reception our Early Years Curriculum consists of:

And the four specifics areas are:

Phonics scheme: 

Phonics is taught daily through clearly structured lessons using the scheme Sounds-Write. Phonics is taught in simple steps to learn how the sounds of the language are represented by the writing system. In Reception we use Dandelion Readers and Sounds Write books. These reading books introduce the sounds of the alphabet, adjacent consonants and consonant digraphs, and vowel digraphs. The books are colourful, imaginative and have a game at the end of every book to consolidate learning. 


Please contact Mrs Knight for more information about the Early Years Curriculum
